Not to mention the 100,000+ of us who marched on the streets of
Melbourne at that time too Mark. Like you, I also said the net will be
next and I _am_ going to say I told you so! Trouble is most of the
people on these sorts of NGs are a bit PC and to most PCers
Guns = Bad. You didn't support us, and now you are starting to
pay the price.

What will be banned next, I wonder? Will anyone care? Part of the
reason I move to Oz (from the UK) was because of the government
secrecy and control there - is it time to move on again?
